Musty Smell and Water in Easley, SC Crawlspace Leads to CleanSpace Encapsulation

There are several different ways to tell if a crawlspace is having a problem with moisture, such as falling insulation, "sweating" pipes, and having standing water on the ground. One very obvious sign that can often be overlooked is the smell of the area. Often people just think that this is just how the crawlspace normally smells, however this musty/old smell can actually be mold beginning to grow.

This happened to be the case for this homeowner, who had ignored the smells coming from their crawlspace for quite awhile before finally trying to fix the moisture problem by installing a dehumidifier. Unfortunately this dehumidifier was not enough to take care of the moisture in this crawlspace. Once the homeowner noticed this, they decided to have the professionals come out to the home and see what All-Dry of the Carolinas could do for them. 

Our System Design Specialist was able to explain our system and why it worked so well to the homeowner, who was excited to have this system installed.  The three main products that were installed in this crawlspace were drainage matting, CleanSpace, and a SmartSump. The sump pump is installed first and helps to pump out any water in the crawlspace. Then the drainage matting is laid out over the floor of the crawlspace and helps to move water along the ground to the sump pump. To finish it up, the CleanSpace is laid out over the entire crawlspace floor and walls in order to seal everything up. This helps to keep water and moisture out of the crawlspace.
